10 Things for Enjoying Holidays in Nepal

A definite way of enjoying your holidays in Nepal.

Can?t decide where to go to enjoy your summer holidays, then consider this- Nepal is celebrating its tourism year in 2011. So, what?s the difference it will make? It will definitely make a lot of difference in the way you will experience this small but mystic country. Nepal is famous for its wide range of natural resources within a small geographical region. Not to mention about mountains, because Nepal has abundant high peaks including Mount Everest. Nepal is also a birth place of Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. If you are Buddhist pilgrimage places or interest in Buddhism, then this is your opportunity to learn more about the Buddha?s origin. There are so much to see and do in Nepal tours, and below are some points you would definitely not want to miss while you are in Nepal.

1. Mountain Flight: If your are in Nepal, how could you miss the thrilling tour of wonderful Himalayas. It would be amazing moment for you to see the range of mountains covered with white snow from the top of the world. I would certainly not miss the chance if I was you.

2. Trekking: This is especially for those people, who don?t mind losing some extra fats off their bodies. We recommend this to those, who want to get close to nature. Just walk or take your bicycle along with you. Enjoy the most popular Annapurna circuit route to the base of Mount Annapurna. We bet you will enjoy it a lot.

3. Visiting Lumbini: Lumbini is a pilgrim place towards the west of Nepal, and is the birthplace of Lord Buddha. It?s the most popular destination in Nepal for the Buddhist tourists. You will learn more about Buddha that you hadn?t known so far.

4. Nepal Wildlife Tour: Hold on. We are not taking you to Africa. Nepal has got many Natural Parks and wildlife reserves for the ?Wild Life? lovers. Go along with your kids, it is safe. Visit Royal Chitwan National Park or Koshi Tappu Wildlife reserves to name some. This list goes on and on because there are so many places you can choose, depending upon your length of stay and budget.

5. Paragliding: Ever thought of flying in a free sky like a bird? In Nepal, you can get a chance to do paragliding. Definitely, you will have this option in other countries as well, but gliding in sky of Nepal with the beautiful scenery of mountains and lakes is definitely an out-of-world experience. Do try this at the beautiful city of Pokhara.

6. Rafting/ Canoying: Why rafting and canoying?? This is for the most daring one, who wishes to challenge the rules of gravity in the rivers of Nepal. Nepal, because of its varied geographical elevation within a smaller distance, offers many rivers with speed that can rush blood off your nerves.

7. Bungee Jumping: Wohoo!! Another thing to test your fear..how daring are you?? Just don?t forget to give a dive in the gorge of Nepal to prove that you are as brave as Gurkhas.

8. Escape to Hill Station: For many people, Kathmandu can be over-crowded and it is because of the ever growing urban population. If you like to take a short escape out of Kathmandu, then you can go to hill station like Nagarkot and Dhulikhel. Just a short distance away from Kathmandu, these hill stations provide you panaromic view of natural landscape and peace of mind. If you can wake up early morning, then you can also see the beautiful view of sun rise. If you don?t mind travelling little further, Pokhara is the must watched place.

9. Take part in festivals: To say frankly, Nepal is the nation of festivals. There is something happening every other day. If you are around Kathmandu, you can see the excitement of ?Machchhindranath Jatra? or fun of ?Indra Jatra?. If you don?t mind putting little color (or lots of color), then take part in ?Fagu Purnima? (The festival of color) with locals.

10. Try Dal, Bhat and Tarkari: Yeah, that?s not definitely the end of the lists, but I guess you want to try some Nepalese cuisine as well. The popular Nepalese cuisine include Dal (Lentils), bhat (rice) and tarkari (vegetables). Mix it together and eat by your hands if possible. You will get the different heavenly taste. Don?t worry if you don?t want to use your hands, you can use spoons or ?knife and forks?, but I bet the taste will be much different. People of Nepal like to eat by their hands and please, don?t forget to wash your hands before eating. india trips
